Wounded

A shattered window. Pierce thru a distant. But broken dream. Lost tomorrow. Dead hope. Tears. Shed and unsheard. Leaves that fall. Down cold and dying trees. In a lone and wounded heart. One worth. A million. One trodded. And trampled. One left. To bleed. To succumb. To burn. To toil. Denied of its true destiny.

By Tawanda Kandenga(Zim)

Swahili Proverb

Cooperation makes work easier. As the old proverb says, “Many hands make light work.”

Desiderata

– Morning Bell….
There goes the morning bell
Wake up and brace yourselves
To new ordeals of the day
Shine up your boots
For the world to see light
In every step u make….
Stroll down the morning fields…
Amidst the early morning dews
That may wet up those shined boots
Yes that’s what the world is here 2 do…..
Derail your triumphs & conquers
But like a soldier in a grievous battle
Fight to be the last man standing…
The goes the morning bell
Wake the others up…
For you are the one who heard it
Shade the light into their shattered hopes
Let them shine their boots as well
Lead them in the fight against laziness

Togetherness!!!

Like the peacock’s feathers shine with glamour

So does work done in unity stands strong as amour

Alone one feather reveals no extraordinary feature

Together the sight is a marvel and leaves anyone impressed like a maiden wooed by a suitor

Beauty and achievement in togetherness amass

But ugliness and disunity are resultant, Alas-,

“Togetherness, Peace and Unity are the answer”

By Tendai Mashipe( Zimbabwe)

African proverb

“Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped,” implies that you have to investigate the root cause of your problem to avoid it next time.

Blind Eyes

Life is like a broken sword
We never know which edge may cut us
But in all, we are orthodox about the positives
And the successes we wish to be attached to our lives

Life is measured not by the breaths we take
But there are moments that take these breaths away
To trudge on is hard, but a way
To hold tight till the ends meet
Having eagle eyes to see where it is better than that

Our lives, our lives are an embodied in misery
Stranded like lilies in the valley
Galloped in the astringent jaws of un-clarity
All disguised by the infantry of this world
In a shatter of what’s beyond the skies

Skies, empty skies covering a dozen hopeless
In the absence of nostalgia
The dew lovely feelings gone forever
I wish I had wings to fly
Oh my! But my eyes, darker are they!

But what am I to you?
Am I a glory to you, in this mist of despair?
Or another tattered soul among other in the haunted mansion
My life, just another scene in a caricature

Wondering what the fields have in store
The seasons so far to reach and grip
My soul travails and grieves deep
Longing to emulate the sweetness of life
When is my heart going lie soft and safe?

These are my blind eyes, our blind eyes
Yet as bright as they seem to be,
They cannot penetrate through the solid walls of life

A mass bounded by pros’ and cons’
An epidemic and a norm to all
Even to the unborn….
If I had eyes, eyes not blind as mine
I would seep through the veil of time
And see who I am, to you and them
All my strength and weaknesses I would lay
Understanding all, them I would lay
As though I am a prince amongst kings
But because of Blind Eyes…

To My Valentine

Your love sweet as honey

Natural, is its being as the honey be

As nectar glued on a flower to you I will be

Always on my mind watering my feelings til the fruits you see

This wonderful overwhelming emotion that is,

Celebrated by everyone on this day in every country

I seek you love as I give you mine-

Be my Valentine
